Date Night

Having a good time and leaving the house for some fun is always a good way to take our minds off of all the stress in our lives.  I got a text from my husband early yesterday morning that he's going to take me out.  To be honest, I was not feeling it at first because I had a bad migraine the night before and woke up with it.  My eyes were heavy and I needed more sleep.  My first instinct was to say no thank you and spend the day in bed, but then I reconsidered.  I hadn't been out for a fun outing in weeks and really could benefit from leaving my cocoon.  So, I said I'll need to nap for a bit first then I'd be ready.

After a nice hour and a half nap, I felt better.  That afternoon, we went to see The Best Man Holiday.  I loved the first one that came out 14 years ago and was excited to see that a sequel was finally made.  I laughed, cried and laughed some more.  We both enjoyed the movie very much.  On the way home, we picked up some subs for the kids and ordered in some Greek favorites and picked up some wine for us to enjoy.  We ate picnic style on our bed and watched television while the kids ate their subs in the kitchen.

Yesterday was a great distraction from the normal, every day stressors I and my husband deal with.  I hope we do it more often.
